Germany's democracy is now under threat

The Dhaka Times Desk When democracy is threatened, the common man becomes a kind of hostage. As is likely to happen in Germany.

Citizens' groups in Germany say the practice of a liberal, open and democratic culture in youth work is under attack.

60 civic groups demand stable funding for projects against the far right. Germany's federal parliament, the Bundestag, has passed a law aimed at thwarting the far-right's efforts in Germany to undermine German society. SPD party leader Jaskia Esken thinks the law is not enough.

"We are just watching how the far right is openly attacking our democracy," he added.

Family Welfare Minister Francisca Giffe and Law Minister Christine Lambrecht, members of the SPD or Social Democratic Party, presented a bill to the cabinet to develop democracy. But conservative members of Merkel's cabinet are also opposing the bill's passage. "We don't understand this opposition at all, but it is dangerous," Esken told the Berlin-based newspaper Taj ahead of Wednesday's cabinet committee meeting.

The committee was formed to draft an anti-apartheid law after the terrorist killings in the city of Hanau last February. "We must all be determined to fight the enemies of democracy," he said.In parliament in September, the opposition Green Party failed to make similar initiatives to the development of German democracy as the current SPD party.

Some 60 citizens' groups also warned Merkel's coalition government in a recent letter cited by the Taj newspaper. According to civic groups, their youth-based activities are under attack to practice a liberal, open and democratic culture.

It should be noted that the results of the cabinet committee will be published in the first quarter of 2021, said Merkel government spokesman Steffen Seibert.
